PACS Archive for Storage, Management, and Distribution of Imaging Data

With the dramatic fall in the price of technology over the past several years, PACS Systems and other medical imaging solutions that were once available only to major university medical centers and large, well-funded private hospitals are now affordable for smaller private practices and public clinics. One of the safest medical imaging solutions available, today's PACS System allows a level of flexibility and economy that was unimaginable only ten years ago.

Like the more familiar ".jpg," ".gif," and ".png," "DICOM" is an image file format, and a DICOM monitor is essentially a high-resolution digital monitor that is networked to a PACS employing any one of a number of software applications known as DICOM viewers.
